I've been working in Type 1 Diabeties (T1D/T1DM) technology since 2018, specifically focusing on glucose and carbohydrate dosing (I'm leaving insulin dosing to the large corporations). The technology focuses an behavioral (digital) phenotyping assuming that we are habitial (or at least repatative) and that there is a transative relationship between blood glucose and behaviour, and in-vivo simulation as applied to the real world.

All of my work is focused an trying to move research to technology in peoples hands as fast as possible which is why I have the Melontech startup for research prototypes, and an independant side project.

Before my work in T1DM I spent 25 years in accessibility research specifically around profound blindness and the World Wide Web, with some forays into Parkinsons Disease, Autism, and.

The move to T1DM was not accidental. In Autumn 2018 my Granddaughter (then 16 months old) became a person with T1DM. Why this autoimmune condition occurs is not really clearly understood at present. At that time I could see how my work could be useful in T1DM and so I pivoted away from my pastwork and focused my entire research portfolio (except accessibility) to T1DM,
